first of all, this isn’t just a continuation of the other re-cast game… new thread, new twist …

what if… the movies were made in order of the time line...
if, X-men: First class, was made back in 2000, before the original trilogy
(so, if it went, X-men: First Class (2000), XO:W (2003), X1 (2006), X2 (2009), X3 (2011)

obviously most of the current cast of, first class, were either too young, or complete unknowns back in 2000.… and most of the cast of the original trilogy would probably be a bit to old to be first starting a trilogy in 2006

So, what actors/actresses of those times, would you of put the roles…
(keeping, age appropriateness, popularity of the times, in mind)

Note: this isn’t how would you change the movie, or the characters, or what characters would you use, instead... assume the the team rosters in the movies stay the same

Tom Jane as James Howlett / Logan / Wolverine
Mel Gibson was too old to act as Wolverine in all the franchise, so they casted Jane, who was a little bit known for his roles in Boogie Nights, Deep Blue Sea and The Last Time I Committed Suicide.
Sean Bean as Victor Creed
Brian Cox as William Stryker
Jamie Foxx as John Wraith
Catherine Zeta-Jones as Kayla Silverfox
Abraham Benrubi as Fred J. Dukes / The Blob
Jason Flemyng as Chris Bradley
Jared Leto as Remy LeBeau / Gambit
Daniel Day Kim as Agent Zero
Ryan Reynolds as Wade Wilson / Weapon XI / Deadpool (He wanted to do it since 2003, so why not?)
Jake Gyllenhaal as Scott Summers
